by Jessica Lane, Residential Life

"I like that I am able to live like an adult without having the pressures of owning my own place. It is also really fun being in a community of individuals like me." -Anonymous student response.
Residential Life recently participated in the Association of College and University Housing Officers (ACUHO) Benchmarking Survey that provides feedback from their residents. High scores were achieved in students' satisfaction with custodial staff, student hall staff performance, and satisfaction of safety in the hall room. Along with pointing towards top highlights, the survey also provides goal areas for improvement next year. Residential Life staff are excited to have this information to work with.
